Lawn Care Calendar

JANUARY TO MARCH

During this period there is not a lot to do. Grass grows very slowly because of the cold weather.
Try to stay off the lawn if it wet or frosty.

MARCH

Usually time to get the mower out and make the first cut. Set mower high and remove top growth only. Brush off worm casts if required.

SPRING

Mow the lawn at least once a week. Reduce height of cuts. Feed the lawn with nitrogen fertiliser which will thicken the grass.
If you have any bald patches put down grass seed or top dress with Rockinghams top dressing soil.

SUMMER

Mow regularly and water when dry. Use spot treatment lawn weedkiller for persistent weeds.

SEPTEMBER ONWARDS

Still mow when needed. Feed with autumn fertiliser. Treat for Leather Jackets. Spike lawn and over seed with top dressing.
